- The location in the heart of the Psiri district, with its many bars and restaurants and vibrant atmosphere. - Impeccable cleanliness; I've rarely seen a hostel so clean! Rooms are cleaned daily. - The staff's exceptional kindness: incredibly responsive, warm, and very accommodating. I greatly appreciated their adaptability: when I couldn't be at the hostel during breakfast time even though I had pre-booked it, they offered me to make a lunch box instead. - The beds are comfortable, and the lockers are very spacious (enough for a small suitcase). 24h/24 open reception was a must; overall, I've felt 100% safe and comfortable during my solo trip.

“Very pleasant overall stay”
I really liked the overall look of the hotel and its interior design. The location was great. The staff were very helpful when the heating stopped working. The candied orange (Greek spoon sweet) served at breakfast was delicious with yogurt.

“Great stay complete with everything at a convenient location”
Great location. Convenient to walk to a lot of restaurants but just a bit of distance so it’s still quiet enough at night. Staff was great and helpful. They also sell some necessities at the reception at reasonable prices. 7-8minute walk to metro station.
